Isabelle - Lead / FEMALE / 22 TO 25
Isabelle, 22-25 is an intelligent, sexy young woman and an extremely gifted writer who is nearly finished with her MFA. The actress must be able to bring an aura of polished sophistication to the character. Whether she admits it to herself or not, Isabelle has developed very strong feelings for her married professor, Michael who is her mentor in the program. She struggles with matters of guilt, denial and her own morals, while trying to handle her feelings. She is obviously very close to Michael, but unsure if he harbors any romantic feelings toward her. Isabelle is a central character in the play.

Story Line: The title of the piece is, “I Do” and it explores the many problems that arise when men and women interact as, “friends”. Issues of personal responsibility and accountability are explored as the play examines what happens when a third person enters the picture in a committed relationship. Every character represents a different perspective on this very timely subject.
“I Do” will run Friday and Sat nights at the new, Atwater Playhouse www.atwaterplayhouse.com for four weeks beginning in March. There is no pay.
